FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: How to Safestrap
[ DOUBLE-CHECK you have the "UMTS_Spyder" version ]
This is NOT BMM. I don't support the same features that BMM does. 2 different recoveries that work on the RAZR, use which ever you like.
NOTABLE TWRP-BASE CHANGES:
Key/button vibration in recovery and MANY more 2.7.0.0 updates
Screen saving in recovery. Can set the timeout under Advanced->Settings->Screen *Don't freak out of the screen is dark, try the power button.
SElinux support in recovery
and much much more.. check the TWRP changelog here: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2
DEVICE SPECIFIC SAFESTRAP CHANGES:
[05/15] (3.73) Bugfix for dual SD card UMS mounting and pull in TWRP changes

[09/06] (3.53) Fixed mass_storage in recovery (via Mount menu)
[09/06] (3.53) Added Webtop to partition backup list (optional)
[09/06] (3.53) New virtual systems created will be 640mb (got reset 600mb)
[09/06] (3.53) Fixed file selector when changing from internal to external storage (previously location wouldn't update)
[09/05] (3.52) added "Reboot to Recovery" in APK
[09/04] (3.51) Disabled screen blank while creating a rom-slot
[09/04] (3.51) Fixed openrecovery script processing for stock slot to re-inject hijack after .zip install (cmupdater on stock now works)
[08/30] (3.50) If running a new CM10.1/CM10.2 ROM (08/30 or later) you *should* be able to install Safestrap and update the recovery w/o having to go back to stock. If Safestrap shows "recovery not installed" while you're on a ROM-slot, then that ROM hasn't been updated and it won't work. Swap back to stock ROM and update Safestrap from there.
[08/30] (3.50) Worked on stock ROM flashing and *should* work with CM10.1/CM10.2 builds on or after 08/30 *WILL NOT WORK WITH OLDER ROMs.*

[12/29] (3.11) BUGFIX: Fixed fake flash error at the end of a .zip install. (No real error, .zip installs fine)
[12/29] (3.10) Early support for booting custom ROMs on stock partitions. (Custom ROMs will need to be worked out for XT912 on JB4.1 still)
[12/29] (3.10) Enable flashing to stock ROM
After .zip installations, nandroid restore or system wipe on the stock ROM: the current Safestrap files are restored to the system partition (Doesn't include the APK in /data -- so if you're restoring an old backup, be sure to update the Safestrap APK)
During the Safestrap files restore a check is done to be sure there are minimal files on /system to re-enter Safestrap
[12/29] (3.10) New virtual system partitions will be 640mb (closer match to stock RAZR/D4)
[12/27] (3.07) Bugfix: missed some changes in Safestrap 3.06
[12/26] (3.06) Bugfix/Update for JB4.1 OTA for DroidRAZR (Non-JB devices can also use)

[10/14] Nearly instant swapping from ROM to ROM
[10/14] User selectable data partition sizes during ROM slot creation: 1GB, 2GB or 3GB
[10/14] ROM slots are saved on the internal emmc space so that preinstall and webtop partitions are no longer used and shouldn't break OTAs.
[10/14] Charging in recovery
[10/14] Supports "Reboot Recovery" from Android OS
Entry to recovery via Splashscreen on boot-up. The screen stays up for around 8-10 seconds and if you hit the menu button, it takes you to Safestrap Recovery.
SPECIAL THANKS TO:
The entire TWRP team who has built an AMAZING recovery system.
The testers which have helped in past and present versions of Safestrap, knowing that it could mean they brick their devices.
As always, let me know what you think!

Amazing job! This has saved me several times
Can some one help me to update from 3.11 to 3.51? I have tried with the apk in the OP, 1st try it crashed while installing, 2nd time it apparently finished properly, but after a reboot 3.11 recovery was still there. Thanks in advance!

You must to uninstall the 3.11 before from the app, then install the new one.
I've tried it also, but uninstall option in the app seems not to be working for me: after uninstalling I've tried to make a reboot (without installing new safestrap) and old 3.11 is still there. I've tried of course uninstalling old recovery, and installing new one, and same result: 3.11 recovery after reboot

MAJOR UPDATE 2/22/12: While the process hasn't changed too much, the key files have all been replaced for greater flexibility, and they are NOT compatible with the old method using rookie1's prep-dualboot zip. See this post for an update path from the old method to the current one.
This guide details how to repartition your internal storage and install two operating systems, or ROMs, side by side. If you're looking for a SD install that leaves the Nook's main storage untouched, you're in the wrong place (see my sig).
This guide takes advantage of the multiboot functionality built-in to CM7.1 nightlies since about #140. As such, it is not compatible with CM7.0.x builds or with earlier boot menus.
What you'll get: Whatever two ROMs you install, each will have a nearly 2GB /data partition for apps and they will share a nearly 2GB /media partition for storage, and both will have access to the SD card for more storage. At startup you will see either a small green bar labeled "CyanogenMod," or the word "cyanoboot" in blue. Both boot menus work the same:
Do nothing, and your primary system will boot
Hold down both volume buttons, and your alternate system will boot
Hold down 'n' for a more detailed boot menu
Hold 'n'+power and recovery will boot (if you installed CWM internally).
All of these actions must be taken in the first couple seconds, before a "loading" message appears below the logo. Once you see a confirmation message, you can release all buttons.
DISCLAIMER: As usual, YOU are responsible for changes YOU make to YOUR device. This process is intermediate difficulty level. It probably shouldn't be the first thing you've ever done with ClockworkMod Recovery, and you probably shouldn't just follow the steps if you don't understand them. If you don't know how your NC is currently partitioned, turn back now. If you want to preserve your warranty, turn back now. Here be serpents; be so warned.
Following the guide as-is with all default options gets you a stock 1.4.1* install on secondary and a CM7 install on primary. I hope you can figure out what to substitute where for different results.
*I don't have access to a CWM-flashable 1.4.2 zip right now, but there are instructions for making one here.
The Guide
Prerequisites:
CWM on either SD or internal recovery (internal recommended)
Wi-Fi access
Materials:
repartitionDual2GBdata
BNpri2alt
reformatData
1.4.1-keep-CWM (IF you're not starting with an up-to-date stock install)
CM7.1+ OR MiRaGe's CM7.2 OR unofficial CM9 nightlies (w/ compatible gapps)
CM7 gapps(look near the bottom of the page)
Steps:
Put all materials in your SD card's root directory (DO NOT UNZIP).
Boot into CWM.
From CWM main menu, "backup and restore" and "backup."
From CWM main menu, "install zip from sdcard," and "choose zip from sdcard."
Choose the repartitionDual2GB file.
Reboot recovery. If you have internal CWM and no boot menu, you may need to use the rhythm method:
verygreen said:
hold nook N key and then press and hold power until the {first} message appears and then disappears with screen going blank. Release power button, then press it again and hold for ~5 seconds, the {first} message should be on the screen for three seconds or so before you release power button, keep holding N button until screen blanks again. If the screen went off while you were holding the power key, that means you were holding it for too long
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Repeat step 4 and choose reformatData
If your backup in step 3 was stock, you can "backup and restore" then "restore" and skip to step 13.
Otherwise, repeat step 4 and choose 1.4.1-keep-CWM.
When it finishes, hold the power button to shut down, remove your CWM card (if applicable), and power back on.
Complete B&N registration process¹
Power off and boot back into CWM (may require rhythm method above).
Repeat step 4 and choose BNpri2alt.
From CWM main menu, in "mounts and storage," format system, data, and cache.
From CWM main menu, choose "Advanced" and "Wipe dalvik cache."
Repeat step 4 and choose CM7 update zip.²
Reboot into main partition and set up Wi-Fi.
Reboot into alt partition (hit both volume buttons at once on "CyanogenMod" loading screen) to make sure it's working.
optional: install gapps, keysmod, etc from CWM.
¹Any mods you want to make to stock, do it now: update to a newer version, root with Manual Nooter (if rooting 1.4.x firmware, follow the linked instructions but use MN 5.12.20), flash keysmod, overclock kernels, or anything else CWM-flashable.
²If you backed up an existing CM7/9 install in step 3, then after step 16 just install gapps, install keysmod if you want it, then from CWM's main menu, Backup & restore > Advanced Restore, and restore data only from your most recent backup. When you boot into CM7 (not tested with CM9), it will be just like you left it.³
³Steps 17 and 18 may look unnecessary, but several users experienced force closes in their CM7 installs when they didn't take these steps.

BNalt2pri: Moves a stock install from the alternate partition set to the primary partition set
CMalt2pri: Moves a CyanogenMod install from the alternate partition set to the primary partition set
Revert dual boot: deletes the alternate partition set and alternate boot files. Does not restore stock partition sizes, but must be run prior to partitioning back to stock.
1.4.1 full restore: removes CWM from internal recovery, does not affect partitioning
1.4.1-to-alt-partition: updates any existing stock install on the dual boot partition (removes root, does not remove installed apps)

UPDATE 5/25/12: Removed the prerequisite for 1GB/5GB partitioning. A little bird named jicama confirmed that the newer partitioning script doesn't care if you start with a blue dot NC. Prep-dualboot would carve the alt partitions out of /media, which doesn't work if /media's not big enough. RepartitionDual just deletes the last three partitions (/system, /data and /media) and makes new partitions from the now-unallocated space, so as long as you have the right number of partitions, it doesn't matter how big they are.
Added to my Subscribed list !! ...Thank you
I'm getting more daring , so I went through this step-by-step this afternoon (thanks for the guide!).
This was a fresh install into a previously stock Nook (I was running CM7 through the SD).
Booting into stock 1.3 works fine - no difference at all.
In CM7, however, I'm having some problems. I installed nightly 201, which worked fine from the SD card. When I boot into CM7, I get a couple "android.process.media" errors at startup, and again when I try to start Market, which just hangs up after a couple of error message popups. I tried to reinstall 201 through CWM which didn't help.
Any ideas? Should I try a different nightly build?
EDIT: also tried 202 with the same results.

You wiped system, data, and cache after running froyo-to-dualboot and before installing CM7? Try wiping dalvik cache, too (under Advanced in CWM), and boot into both partitions after installing CM7 but before gapps or any other packages/restores.

Okay, I'll do that and post results. Thanks.
EDIT: Looks like that did it. Seems to work fine, other than some app FCs, which, from what I've read, are fairly common. Thanks for the assist!
I worked that info into the OP. I've done this process twice now without taking those steps and without getting FCs, but you're not the first to report them.
I was a bit confused about the backup and restore part also. Seeing as my Nook was stock to start, I probably didn't need to do that step, and might have actually caused a problem or two by restoring data that didn't exist to start.
Still working great. The only FCs I've had so far were while trying to run Facebook.
Excellent guide! Thanks for all the work on this, it works great.
This is an awesome guide. Thanks for the help. I've been wanting to do this for a while.
Thanks man.
I appreciate you putting all the tools in one place, and I especially appreciate you posting that us blue dot people needed to repartition to 1gb data before doing this; I should've figured that, but I didn't for some reason.
Moving 1.3 to the dual boot partition as I type
Question though; after I move 1.3 to the dual boot, can I still install modifications to it via CWM?

Short answer: no. As-is, most zips tell CWM to install them to the primary partition. You can modify them to to install to the secondary, but it's a lot simpler if you want to root, install keysmod, or overclock, to do it before you shuffle stock to secondary.
There's a decent chance rajendra82 or someone else will provide dual boot compatible versions of any future B&N software upgrades.

This is the best thing EVER. I got sick of the nook app on my CM7 build, so this worked flawlessly.

Negative, that's built on CM 7.0.3. You would have to use j4mm3r's multiboot and the matching stock-to-secondary file found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156909
Nevermind, dumb question.
Updated with a link to CM7.1 stable
I kept a stock install of 1.2 and installed phiremod 6.3 because the 7.2 links weren't working and I couldn't find one anywhere. How do I boot into the alt-partition on boot? There is no CM7 boot screen (google gears, maybe?) and pressing volume buttons several times throughout the entire boot didn't do it.
can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong. I followed the steps, CM7 boots ok but when I use the alt, the nook gets stuck on the "n" screen.

Sounds like you got close. I would say start over at step 5.
Installed Safestrap for my first time. Opened app, installed recovery, rebooted and hit menu button when I saw Motorola screen. Nothing happened and it rebooted normally. What am I doing wrong?
You are rooted, correct?
Indeed. Bootstrap isn't installed either. I feel like a noob, but it seems simple to use yet it won't work. I'm trying to install a custom ROM and it gives the link to the Safestrap apk so I know it's the right apk.

error while restoring /systemorig!
I just updated my razr CDMA X912to ICS (OTA 6.16.211) and used the DroidRaxrUtility 1.7 (thanks mattlgroff!) to root and install safestrap 2.0. I am going through the motions of backing up and restoring but keep getting the error "error while restoring /systemorig!"
I dont feel confident to add a custom rom on my safe system until i know I can restore on my non-safe system.
Steps taken:
-reboot into recovery (safe system :disabled)
-create backup
-reboot
-make subtle changes to wallpaper and add a few apps
-reboot into recovery (safe system: disabled)
-restore for ext-sd
-locate back up made and confirm restore.
it checks the md5 sum and then begins to restore /systemorig and eventually fails.
Update: I had to do a full wipe and recovery using the blur 6.12.181 stock image. now i am able to restore safestrap backups. I used Mattlgroff's 1.7 utility, option 1
How to switch recoveries

1. Benefits of BMM and SS
2. Switch from SS to BMM
2.1 Basic usage of BMM
3. Switch from BMM to SS
This little guide is a work in progress! Within the next time I will insert pictures, detailed explanations about several features, etc. For now it's only a quick switching guide for SS users or beginners.
Who wants to know everything?
Whirleyes, the creator of BMM provided a great virtual BMM on his website! It works like you had a working BMM on your computer, you can browse through the menus and get detailed explanations. A user tutorial is also available which explains everything!
Find it here: http://www.projectlense.com/BootMenuManager/Tutorial/
Any help is welcome to extend this guide. Otherwise give me some time to finish it. Thx!
1. Benefits of BMM and SS
BMM:
BMM is a full featured recovery system and is recommended for developers or advanced users. While a high featured recovery is nice for developers it can be a big disadvantage for normal users. If you don't know how to handle BMM you can brick your device very fast! But besides of that there are many benefits, such like the possibitlity to flash roms to the stock or 2nd system (webtop partition) - which aren't virtual systems. A generic partition provides better performance and it could affect the behavior of some tweaks too. For me it provided also better battery life.
The system Keeper can be used to install root to your selected system, unroot or also install BMM after flashing to the stock system - after flashing to stock system BMM will install itself autmatically! So it protects you from loosing BMM.
An additional feature is the compatibility to Safestrap! You can boot your Safestrap Slots with BMM, or restore nandroid backups from SS to one of your BMM systems. I'm not sure if this works with SS vice versa.
Based on CWM 6 Touch
Multiple Boot (Select any system on startup)
Boot modes (Kexec, 2nd-init, Insecure adb)
6 Rom Slots (2 generic, 4 virtual img-slots)
Backup (Fast, Full, Selective)
Restore (Fast, Full, Selective)
Wipe (Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache, Battery stats)
System Keeper (Backup, Install, Uninstall Root, Install BMM)
Mount (Format ANY partition, mount partitions - e.g. for use with Filemanager)
Stock System flashable
2. System uses the Webtop partition (which is unused since Moto ICS! That means there are 1,3gb of unused space! BMM uses the webtop partition for userdata. Only disadvantage is: Userdata size is limited at 1.3gb)
Virtual Slots (Create partition images with preferred sizes)
Custom Install-Binary allowed on all slots (e.g. usefull for updater-script commands using Busybox, Aroma Installer, etc)
File Manager (Aroma Filemanager, Root)
ADB
No Rom-side hardcoded slots! Roms will work on every slot!)
Firmware Flashing Section (Stock ONLY:
- Backup Kernel
- Restore Kernel
- Flash Kernel
- Flash Baseband (Radio.img, bp.img, lte.img)
- Backup CID
- Erase CID
- Restore CID
Safestrap:
The main intention of Safestrap is to be SAFE for users. The stock rom system will stay untouched so you cannot brick your device. But the use of virtual slots isn't always an advantage. Roms running on virtual slots can cause lower performance. For normal users who just want to play around or test a new rom SS is the best choice. For users who want to try their own developed stuff or just take the best out of their devices, the best choice is BMM.
Based on TWRP Touch
Fixed Dual Boot (select a slot in recovery as default boot)
Boot modes (Kexec, normal)
Backup (Full, Selective)
Restore (Full, Selective)
Wipe (Data, Cache, Davlik Cache)
Mount (mount partitions - e.g. for use with Filemanager)
5 Rom Slots (Stock + Only virtual img-slots)
Slots for Kexec Roms are hardcoded!!
Virtual Slots (Create partition images with preferred sizes)
File Manager (TWRP)

2. Switch from SS to BMM
I will only describe the process for installation and the basic usage of BMM. Advanced users might know of find our how to handle additional features - otherwise you can still ask here.
If needed make a full backup of your slot and place the backup somewhere on your computer or wherever it's safe.
Boot into your stock rom
Open the Safestrap app
Hit "Uninstall recovery" and wait for the process to be finished
Open Play Store and search for "Bootmenu Manager" (Make sure it's the version 0.3.4!)
Download and install it
Open the new app and allow su rights
In the appearing menu hit "Install" and finish the process
When done, BMM is installed
2.1 Basic usage of BMM
I will describe the step by step process to install a rom.
But Whirleyes postet on his website an awesome "virtual Bootmenu" where you can brwose through the full menus! It's great, so you can get in touch with it and see how it looks like! You can find it here:
Virtual Bootmenu Website
Reboot
Wait until the BMM splash screen appears, touch the screen and select "Settings"
Now select a system you want to prepare (for rom installation)
- System 1 is your Stock System
- System 2 has limited userdata (max 1.3gb)
- System 3-6 are virtual slots, similar to Safestrap
For System 2 you will only have to prepare the Cache partition. This can be done by hitting the "ACTIVATE" button in System 1 settings
For System 3-6 you have to create the partition images - similar to Safestrap - just pick your preferred sizes.
After preparing your system, you can go back by pressing the "Back" hardbutton until you see the splashscreen again
Now enter "Recovery"
You will see several options (similar to CWM)
First you need to switch to your prepared system
Tick "Switch System" and select that system you've just prepared. You will notice that the color of the buttons has been changed (Each system has its own color!)
Now are able to flash a rom
Select "Install zip from sdcard"
If needed "change the zip location" to int/ext storage
Navigate to your rom zip, select it and confirm
Repeat the last 3 steps for Gapps or whatever you want to flash
When done, enter the "reboot options" in the main menu
You can select whether to reboot as usual, reboot directly into your preferred system, reboot into bootloader or stock recovery)
Otherwise just perform a normal reboot and select your system at the splashscreen
That's it!
3. Switch from BMM to SS
I will only explain how to uninstall BMM safely and install SS!
Boot into System 1
If needed make a full backup of your slot and place the backup somewhere on your computer or wherever it's safe.
Open the BMM app
Select "Installer"
Select "Uninstall"
When the process has finished BMM is removed
Make sure you have the Safestrapxx.apk on your sdcard
Open it and select "Install recovery"
That's it.

Great initiative!
It would be nice to add for BMM users
system 2, in order to be used, it has to be activated first:
when device boot, do not press recovery, but settings, system 2 and activate
for flashing kernels, there must be NO SPACE into the path like
firmware/kernel.EU.JB/boot.img

File manager?
All,
I have recently made the jump to BMM. I am enjoying using it once I had it figured out..kind of. I am up and running with stock/2nd slot and a third vurtual. How do you get the file manager working once in BMM? It gives an error saying aromafm is not installed? Is this an additional add on? If so how do you install it so it works in BMM? TIA

Great guide!
I'm using SS only have two questions:
What if I messed up my stock rom and can't boot into it? Is there any way to install BMM (beside flashing my phone to stock rom via RSD)?
I have never used BMM and probably won't switch... but I thank you kindly for your time and work on this guide...

If you have an accessable recovery installed you can restore your system (resotre nandroid, flash rom, etc). But if you cannot boot into any rom you have to flash using RSD.

Ok, I"m using liquidsmooth on slot 3, but still can't restore my stock rom to stock slot. I messed it up by flashing cm10(JB) accidentally on stock slot, while I had an ICS stock rom installed on it.
What if I don't have a nandroid backup? What rom should I flash to go back to stock ICS on stock slot (XT910, Latam)?
Thanks in advance!
you should know before you flash something... Look inside the firmware super thread.

Is there a how to thread for using bmm? I can't find anything recent with step by step instructions. I managed to get a rom flashed, but I'd like a better idea of how to use BMM/Aroma.
Requeriments:
Locked bootloader (Unlocked bootloader can flash a custom kernel with this included).
You must be root, if you not be root do this --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783885 NEW
You need enable USB Debuging Options (go settings->about phone->compilation number and hit seven times, then go settings->developer options and Enable USB debugging..
Installation:
1.) down CWM_SP_#.#.#.zip file.
2.) unzip it on your desktop.
3.) go to the CWM_SP_#.#.# folder
4.) run the install.bat file in windows (use others for linux or mac)
5.) select option number 1 to install.
6.) stay tuned on the phone as it calls super user permissions.
7.) Read the directions to see that everything went well.
8.) If all went well you press a key to continue and after press 3 for reboot phone or 4 to finish.

In CWM Touch the backups are stored in /data/media/clockworkmod or /storage/removable/sdcard1/clockworkmod

Tested All recoveries:
1. CWM works fine
2. TWRP fine
3. CWM-touch (some difficulty in navigation, but works ok)
is there any way .. with out installing purerome.. .for rooting ?
i dont wanna change my stock rom....
I tested it, but only TWRP make backup. CWM says "can't mount system". CWM touch says "backup completed", but there is no backup files on any of storages.I tested two others CWM mods and they also says "can't mount system".
Ohh, I found CWM Touch backup files. After I read log file, I saw this row -> "I:using /data/media for /sdcard/0/clockworkmod". Backup folder is in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/..
There is something wrong with filesystem table. I saw several lines that say Unable to get recovery.fstab info for: /datadata, /emmc, /sdcard, /ed-ext and /external_sd.
yep. this works. haven't tried backing up yet though. thanks.
thanks, its work.... but, why i cant mount system, its always "mount system Eror"....????
can any body help...
Can cwm mount sdcard0/1 and system?

CWM shows "error in mounting system" when I try to mount system. As a result, can't take nandroid backup.
CWM Touch shows "error in unmounting system" when I try to unmount system. Though it can take backup, when I try restore, it shows error in unmounting system.
TWRP though not showing error, and seeming to backup correctly, when I try restore, it shows error in unmounting system.
In other words,
not working for me.
I'm on CE 4.3 stock, rooted, LB.

For 4.1.2 backups use CWM or TWRP, for 4.3 backups use CWM Touch.
Remember, if you restore an 4.1.2 backup you need change kernel to 4.1.2.

I tried to restore 4.3 backup in cwm touch & twrp. it showed error "unable to unmount system" after md5 verification.
I tried to restore 4.3 backup in cwm. It verified md5 and erased boot image. after that it showed error "error, can't mount system" . As a result, I got soft brick on booting.
Its as if, CWM has its "mount system" freezed. CWM & TWRP have their "unmount system" freezed

in cwm touch you need mount system and data first, if you have trouble try use advanced restore.
i test full backup and all are ok,

once you flash the custom rom yo need flash root too, once reboot need install CWM again because the recovery image are in system partition.
@ OP
Suppose i am on a 4.3 ROM, and i want to flash a MOD or add-on, which recovery will be compatible with 4.3?
I am on LB, so if the recovery formats system, i have a very long process to get back to where i was.
Currently no compatible custom recovery for LB, but there are people working on it!
We all wait!
Because of the Locked Bootloader, the Stock Recovery cannot be replaced.
Safestrap Hijacks the boot process allowing for a custom recovery (TWRP)
In this custom recovery, Custom Roms can be installed, along with other functions that a custom recovery allows.
17 Aug 2015: Currently the newest version is Safestrap 3.75
Cm12 requires safestrap v3.75 (or newer)
3.75 is compatible with older roms.

Many Custom roms don't include Google Apps/GApps (playstore...)
Sometimes Dev posts a link to preferred GApps version.
For the XT910/XT912 I suggest installing a Minimal Gapps because of the smaller System size and lower memory compared to newer devices, like pa_gapps-modular-nano...
Be sure to install a GApps Version that matched Android version of Custom Rom.
See sd_shadow's Collection of GApps Links

Note: Mentor.37 has removed the Safestrap splash screen, so you must select reboot to recovery from rom or Boot to safestrap from Stock Boot Mode Selection Menu

You can backup any slot, and restore on any slot.

I have a small problem on my spyder, I am using SS by Mentor.37 and safe slot have problems in the system partition, it has 605MB and without having anything installed any ROM shows 0 free, I looked for the solution on the official topic of the SS and saw to fix the problem we have to format system (in safe slot) using a different file system, but it did not help. okay i restored the system with RSD and the whole process and such ... the slot safe was okay, but if you try to format the system to try another ROM he gets in trouble again! Is there any solution?
Trying to learn but stuck....
Hi, I have a Verizon RAZR XT912 at Android 4.1.2. I am new and trying to learn how to do this so forgive my ignorance. My TWRP program has no "Boot Option". The main screen has (Install, Backup, Restore, TWRP Install, Settings, Reboot, Support, About). I have done back-up and it took a few times before it seemed to go into a backup mode and it said it created a backup. I tried to install CM12 and found it in my "SDcard1" , then selected the .zip file by checking the box. Then I got the warning "are you sure you want to reboot to recovery and complete the specified actions?" I click OK but nothing ever happens. It took Kingroot several attempt to finally root the phone but RootCheck says it is rooted. I am kind of lost because the apps are not working the way I have been reading and even the program screen shots are different than what I am seeing.
Is it possible to create/edit/mod SafeStrap 3.75 (for XT910) without splashscreen during the boot (like in xt912 by mentor)?
@sd_shadow Do you see any possibility to update safestrap to use the freshly introduced TWRP 3.0 sources?

Hi,
The image files from the safestrap rom slot folders ... viz ... cache, system and userdata .img files are as good as the twrp rom backup files ?
further merely replacing this old userdata.img into a freshly setup rom slot will work just as good ?
I have backed up my kitkat virtual ROM slot folder, and i am setting up a lollipop ROM anew, would be great if i could just replace the new userdata.img with the one i have saved from my previous kitkat ROM.
thanks,

I've followed the instructions on rooting and installing SafeStrap. But I can't find a definite answer as to why I can't create a slot. It shows 0 space available. Would you know what to do? Thanks
